Difference between "Proposal" and "Engagement" #1 (permalink) Sat Aug 15, 2009 0:12 am   Difference between "Proposal" and "Engagement"		  
Hi guys,

this is maybe too easy question Smile , but I want to be sure that I know the difference between the following words...

Proposal: First step, offer to marriage. Man asks woman for her hand.
Engagement: Second step/phase, she agreed and they're planning the wedding.

Please correct me if I'm wrong or confirm that I'm right.

thank you in advance
